Web Page to Raw

Use this skill to turn a web page into a text-first raw note in _raw/.

Purpose

Capture the page's text content faithfully for later vault ingestion while avoiding image bloat and lost hidden text.

Core Rules

• Expand all flyouts, accordions, details/summary sections, tabs, load-more panels, and similar hidden content before capturing.
• Keep expanding until no new text appears.
• Do not summarize, interpret, or rewrite the page content.
• Preserve headings and tables.
• Ignore decorative graphics, icons, and layout images.
• Do not try to preserve column-based page layout; retain tables only when the source uses real tables.
• Keep hyperlinks as links.
• Capture visible page text in a raw, source-first form.
• For Reddit pages, expand all visible comment threads, nested replies, and "more replies" / load-more controls until the conversation tree no longer reveals new text.
• If a section cannot be expanded, note that explicitly in the raw file.

Capture Workflow

1. Open the URL.
2. Inspect for expandable sections and click every content-bearing control.
3. Revisit the page after expansions to ensure no additional text is hidden.
4. Capture the visible content into a Markdown note in _raw/.
5. Use a readable title-based filename with filesystem-safe characters.
6. Include source URL and capture date in frontmatter.
7. Omit images unless the user explicitly asks for them.

Raw Note Structure

Prefer this structure in the captured note:

• frontmatter with source, captured, and title
• H1 title
• section headings that mirror the page
• bullet lists and Markdown tables where appropriate
• short notes for any hidden sections that could not be expanded
• when a page is a discussion thread, include the post and the visible comments without summarizing them

Quality Checks

• Confirm the raw note contains the page's main headings and visible body text.
• Confirm tables survived as Markdown tables.
• Confirm no images were copied into _raw/.
• Confirm any hidden sections were expanded or noted.
• For Reddit captures, confirm nested comments and visible reply branches were included, not just the top-level post and first comment layer.
